Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades

"When you ask a person to jump, his attention is mostly directed toward the act of jumping and the mask falls so that the real person appears." - Phillipe Halsman

i'm joyful. i'm jumping.

because of the amazing weekend soccer.

and that other, contagious happiness that the frisbee brought me today. yeah!

the beginning of the world often comes
and then crawls out the window.
-Some By Sea

The tickle, the taste of,
It used to be the reason that I breathed,
But now it's choking me up.
Die young and save yourself.

fearsome falsetto

matt bellamy has a falsetto to be feared.

Change
Everything you are
And everything you were
Your number has been called
Fights, battles have begun
Revenge will surely come
Your hard times are ahead

i've got a decent video of the opener knights of cydonia, but it's 7mb too big to be uploaded on to youtube.

so then. more pictures.

i was pleasantly surprised to recognise 2 arcade fire songs that were played before the band took the stage.

bemused.

takk...

i feel like i've started the year 2007

12 days late.

. . .

passion allows us to pursue goals.

can i pursue passion?

. . .

i've been listening to the album 'Takk...' by the Icelandic Sigur Rós. besides the cool idea of having an apostrophe on every other vowel in the song name, the music is glorious.

glósóli, sæglópur, svo hljótt.

a thought left over

we hope you had the Games of your Life.
